Thanks Victor. I tried #bits and it worked. So I then returned to # bits and that now works too!! There must've been some weird character lurking there that wasn't visible.

I found this code in a header file here... it starts with a declaration of various 'DebugBit' types, followed by the declaration for a function which prints out some debug text:-


namespace DEBUG...

Thanks 2kaud - that article seems to have quite a few warnings about things not behaving the way you might expect... but the bit that made me smile was this statement:- "Used as a more readable...

Yesterday I came across this 'for' loop in some C++11 code:-


for (auto & trig : all_triggers) {
trig->process_state_requests (bufs, nframes - 1);
}

Is it just me - or was the older...

It's okay - I solved it by calling isnan() and placing a breakpoint if the return value was non-zero.

BTW - does anyone know what the statement double *R__ mag means..? I've never come across...

We all know that when setting breakpoints we can specify a condition - for example it can be specified to stop only when a value is zero. Here's some code that's causing a problem for me:-

...

Ah yes, you're right - in fact even something as simple as this doesn't work...


constexpr uint32_t some_func() { return sqrt(1024); }

Thanks for the tip wolle. I'd never even heard of constexpr but you're right - it works fine!

Oops - I was using square brackets instead of round :blush:

This works...


std::vector<int> buf_3(x);

uint32_t some_func() { return 32; }

int buf_1[32]; // <--- this always compiled with MSVC
int buf_2[some_func()]; // <--- whereas this fails because the buffer size needs to be known at...

There are too many of them but I just realised that #pragma message is apparently supported by gcc - so hopefully I'll persuade the gcc programmers to use it instead of #warning :thumb:

Wow, that looks even better - but I'd still need a way to convert #warning "whatever" into #pragma message("whatever")

Thanks 2kaud but if I'm reading that article correctly, #pragma comment is for inserting a comment into the compiled file.

Over on StackOverflow someone suggested using #pragma NOTE. It doesn't...

Thanks 2kaud but I think that's intended for the official (i.e. numeric) warnings. OTOH #warning is generally followed by a user-defined text message

AFAICT it's not supported in MSVC but it seems to be much more common now for 3rd-party source code to contain #warning message lines. Is there any way they can be converted into something that'll...

Thanks 2kaud - the 3rd link leads to a page with 2 x examples. And the 2nd example states that any function that's defined within a header file is now regarded as being implicitly inlined. But what...

We all know that Visual Studio is trying to support non-Microsoft compilers. I don't know how many are supported but Clang is one of them. Consider this code:-


#if defined (BUILDING_DLL)
...

Thanks 2kaud - I can see how that'd work if the exe only ever uses static libs. But if the exe links to 3 x DLL's (and it's the DLL's which each need the static lib) surely there'll be 3 x copies of...

That looks promising Victor - many thanks!

Consider the following code. Obviously the class is intended to get exported from a DLL - so there'll only ever be 1 x copy of some_var:-


class __declspec(dllexport) whatever
{
public:...

Ah, that makes sense now I've woken up - the actual class looks like this:-


class timepos_t : public int62_t {
public:
timepos_t () : int62_t (false, 0) {}
timepos_t (TimeDomain d) :...

I'm not sure if it's C++11 maybe but I just came across this line of code in a class declaration:-


explicit timepos_t (samplepos_t s) : int62_t (false, samples_to_superclock (s,...

In previous versions of VS I could press F5 to start a Debug session and if the code had changed slightly it'd give me the option to rebuild or not rebuild - but VS2019 always rebuilds without giving...

That looks promising 2kaud, thanks. :thumb: I'll try adapting it here for boost.

I'm investigating a problem here when using boost::intrusive::list with templates but to get me started I wrote this small app (which works):-


#include <boost/intrusive/list.hpp>
#include...
